DXNewGroup

Function

Creates a new generic Group Object.

Syntax

#include <dx/dx.h>


Group DXNewGroup()

Functional Details

A generic Group consists of a number of members that may optionally be named. There is no restriction on the class of Objects in a generic Group and no requirement that the type of the members be the same. This is in contrast to the Composite Field, MultiGrid, and Series subgroups of the class Group, which generally contain members of class Field and are typed. Generic Groups may be explicitly typed using DXSetGroupType if all the members are of the same type.

Named members are added to a Group with DXSetMember. Unnamed members are added to a Group with DXSetEnumeratedMember.

The Group created can be deleted with DXDelete. See 4.2 , "Memory Management".

Return Value

Returns the Group or returns NULL and sets an error code.
